TEAMtalk reports that Liverpool are considering offering captain Virgil van Dijk a new contract as his current deal approaches its expiry next summer. A short extension of up to 12 months, with additional options, is being discussed, but the club is in no rush to reach an agreement.
According to the report, Liverpool want to tell the Dutch defender that he remains part of the club’s plans, while his high salary could complicate negotiations. The two sides are expected to consider his future more seriously as 2027 approaches.
The report says that Van Dijk has spent nearly a decade at Anfield since joining from Southampton in January 2018, making 387 appearances and helping Liverpool win two Premier League titles and a Champions League title. It also says the club values his leadership experience, while simultaneously considering other defensive matters and goalkeeper Alisson’s future as his contract approaches its expiry next summer.
